Oh dear, you did not have you happy pills today? It was not a forum spam, and it was a great contribution offering to give you help as you requested.

But with your post above, forget it, I withdraw that offer.

Bandwidth is the issue, on both ends no matter what Internet packages you both have. Make sure you only have Skype running (no other downloads of any sort, no web streaming i.e. youtube etc) and the audio should be fine 24x7 but this applies on both ends remember, not just you.

as said above Trillian and Amsn work well on all distro's

There are a pile of help / how to videos for the obsolete Silverbox, F1, Angelbox, 7100, 7200 we just released on Youtube.com - search under jsattv (on youtube.com i.e http://www.youtube.com/user/jsattv )

Be aware we did these some 5/6 years ago where we gave them to each one of our customer on CD seems dynasat never provided any English support.

On Ubuntu (and windows xp, win 7 and my Mac) I use teamviewer from www.teamviewer.com, it is free and works well.

On KDE desktops this can be a number of ways, but I guess you are looking for a gnome solution?

Wally is a Qt4 wallpaper changer using multiple sources like files, folders, FTP remote folders, Flickr, Yahoo!, Panoramio, Pikeo, Ipernity, Photobucket, Buzznet, Picasa and Smugmug images.

Its web site is here http://www.becrux.com/ and they have a Kubuntu version too.

Linksys RV042

Easy to setup, never had any problems with it.

agreed 100% been using several of them here for years ..

read this thread here on TV re SEO - http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/405249-what-does-a-professional-seo-with-your-website-what-you-can-actually-do-by-yourself-too/

no did not help

I see you are taking advantage of the free advice given to you in this thread here on TV, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/405249-what-does-a-professional-seo-with-your-website-what-you-can-actually-do-by-yourself-too/ (well done)

run a dyndns or no-ip client on your linux box and you will always find it, but with teamviewer this is NOT required, as it has it own system / directory service for doing this.

I use teamviewer on the Mac, Windows (Xp, Vista, Win7) and Linux. A great free app for remote access and my 84yr old mum loves it to, as I can fix her notebook from here in BKK.

The will debit your account immediately for a refund but the refund can take 30 days to get to the other party.

The free card offered by Australia Network is for the Intelsat 8 (166e) satellite only, but as there is no more rugby they are no longer giving out free cards.

The service on Intelsat 7/10 (68,5e) has never been included and a bone of contention we have with them having been promised now some four years ago access to it, , as even here in Thailand thousands of potential users can not see Intelsat 8 (166e) as they are geographically challenged in some form or other (hi-rise buildings, palm trees etc) where in most cases Intelsat 7/10 is a clear shot for everyone here. .

I use my own site as my home page

SEO is crap!!!

You do it, everybody does it... so here is no end, and how more domain names/similair businesses, how more those SEO guys can fill their pockets.

Absolutely right. Very insightful. Now just point us all to your website and tell us how many keywords you have that get your website on Google P1 Serps. Are you using Adwords oh wise and insightful one? How many visitors are landing on your site? Where are they coming from? How long are they staying? What percentage buy something? I'm sure after such an intelligent post here you're not going to come back and say you don't have a wesbsite, are you? And I'm sure you run a spell checker over your oh so well performing website, unlike what you post in here because otherwise that would just be giving your website visitors a crap experience, which is a negative factor in SEO.

To the Op, there's lots of things you can do yourself. Depends on your ability and what type of website you have.

If you use an outside SEO consultancy not only do they need to know what they are talking about but you need to sit down and come up with realistic results that you both agree on and a time frame first.

Make sure your URLs are pretty and meaningful and not something that signals nothing to the search engines.

Make sure your photos have alt text and not stock codes

Make proper use of your H1 and H2 headers.

Block non important pages such as "Employment" (unless you're an employment agency) from being crawled.

Make sure your website is submitted to all major AND second level search engines.

Make sure your content is original and not copied from somewhere else.

Post articles to article submission sites.

Build backlinks.

It all depends on what your definition of expensive is OP?

There's no shortage of people in Thailand who want to have the best website in the world built for them for Bt5,000 or Bt10,000 and also expect to be on Google P1 a month after the website goes live. Without knowing more about your website its difficult to know how much you can do yourself fairly easily and what tasks are going to be a challenge for you.

But as someone else already said, be careful of the snake oil salesmen (and women).

I know this post was not meant for everyone, but I could not resist saying, I have never used any third party to do ours (build or promote), as I did it myself and they rank highly on most search engines worldwide albeit this is not my business (design/build/promote we sites), and with your list I can check all the boxes like,

Google P1 Serps - YES

Adwords - YES

Integrated Google / other APP API's - YES

Make sure your URLs are pretty and meaningful and not something that signals nothing to the search engines. - YES

Make sure your photos have alt text and not stock codes - YES

Make proper use of your H1 and H2 headers. - YES

Block non important pages such as "Employment" (unless you're an employment agency) from being crawled. - YES

Make sure your website is submitted to all major AND second level search engines. - YES

Make sure your content is original and not copied from somewhere else. - YES

Post articles to article submission sites. - YES

Build backlink - YES

Much more - YES

It can be done, and a bit of fun on the way to.

What does the strength of THB against the USD have to do with the CNY to the average Joe here? Nothing, merely media hype.

The shop there in Pattaya is called Amorn and there is a also a branch there in Chang Mai selling the same kit..

As mentioned above most of the Sports on the old DSTV (South African network) are also on Astro and more besides including the Cricket (Australia vrs India in the Airtel series)

How do you get Astro?. What equipment do you need?. how much does it cost? Any help, much appreciated

Equipment: Dish, dish electronics (LNB), cable, set top box

Cost : varies, but if you want HD it is a tad expensive at the moment for the limited HD channels

Help: Contact the site sponsor at www.jsat.tv or feel free to PM me for all the options

TGN can still be seen free to view on Galaxy 19 (no monthly payments required at all) - see this link - http://www.lyngsat-address.com/tt/Thai-TV-Global-Network-USA.html which also has the contact details for the TGN team in LA.

If you need help relocating / aligning the dish or with the set top box, simply contact Richard on 765-768-4299 who runs a FTA Radio Show and FTA web site at - http://www.ftasatellitesales.com/ (Tell him Jon in Bangkok sent you)

Good luck and happy viewing.

I have both clone and original and they both work fine, if you want to play dreambox you need to learn how to set them up correctly. Too many people have bought dreamboxes thinking they are going to just plug them in and have tv sorry but it dont work that way. Check out wiki for a really good tutorial to learn from and get started. Oh by the way freezing is only cooling an overheated chipset getting it to work for a short time until it overheats again.

Maybe im just thick but i have tried your suggestion and cant find anything, do you have a link?

Ready to put tongue in cheek. Palusa

Here is one I wrote for all models of DM boxes http://www.pli-images.org/modules/wiki/index.php?wakka=HomePage - take your time as it is huge and covers just about everything but fridges and freezers

be aware if you are a XP user

"Since you're running Windows XP, you won't be able to install Internet Explorer 9 unless you upgrade to a more recent version of Windows.

We use http://www.hostgator.com/ in the USA for www.jsat.tv and many more sites at a cost of THB400 per month with a business account and unlimited everything (users, bandwidth, emails, support etc), well worth the money.

Oh dear, I do not know what to say, as many of them work here. Ah well forget that one then if it is a "only works for me site, and no one else"
